Consider having a BMW specialty independent shop look at it for you rather than a non-BMW mechanic.

Here's a good list from the e53 forum. There are a few listed in Texas.

I just picked up a sweet 2010 w/84k miles and so far only issue is backup cam is not working as it should

i too plan on modding her

already ordered;

- Megan Racing titanium exhaust
- K&N air filter
- H&R lowering springs
- Custom Hi-Flo cat DPs
- 22" Rohana R22 in Black Deep Concave staggered 22x9.5F 22X11.5R
soon a Velos stage 2 performance/ towing/ xDrive tune

Cool, I was really excited to get the car but absolutely despise it and cant wait to dump it now. Im going back to Porsche asap. If you hear of any buyers let me know, dealer does not even want it for a trade.

damn......1j, where in Texas are you?

I'm flying into Miami Tomorrow to pick mine up and drive her back to the DFW.....driving through Houston and Austin and visit friends

My brother will Drop the X5M Off tomorrow @Meister motoring in Ft.Lauderdale early morning so they can install the H&R lowering springs and Hi-Flo cat install
